Day 27, Tuesday, 7/14: It started to rain during the night and it has been windy and blustery all day today. Had a late breakfast and went into town to check things out. Houses are all built off the ground and the sewer, water, etc. are all in insulated large pipes above ground that go from building to building. Will get some pictures because it is hard to describe. The ground here is very unstable due to the permafrost.
Checked out the grocery/and just about everything else store. We won’t be buying anything here as it is extremely expensive! Found the liquor store and bought a few bottles of wine because of course that is worth it. Decided we will stay here until Thursday and then spend 3 days going back to Dawson City. They are having a music festival this week-end and the RV park was booked so if we don’t arrive there until Sunday there should be a place for us. It was a nice park. Tomorrow we might check out the Arts Festival going on here in Inuvik and have a few other things we want to do. Hoping the weather dries out a bit. We came back to the camper about 2:00 and took a nap. Got up, had a bite of supper and played cards (Skip-Bo), some games on the computer (Cribbage) and doing some reading. It is now almost 11:00 p.m. and the sun hasn’t set yet. Wind is still howling but the sun is shining through the clouds. We are nice and cozy in our little camper!
